Unemployment rates appear to vary widely at a subregional (e.g., local or provincial) level. Using spatial econometric … models for spatial autocorrelation, this paper focuses attention on the spatial structure of regional unemployment … of unemployment in the 103 provinces of Italy for the years 1998 and 2003.

We compare a set of econometric studies that measure the effect of net internal migration in neoclassical models of long-run real income convergence and derive 67 comparable effect sizes. The precision-weighted estimate of beta convergence is about 2.7%. An increase in the net migration rate of...

Using meta-analytical techniques, we focus on 11 studies that explicitly measure the effect of a net migration variable in neoclassical convergence models and derive 57 comparable effect sizes. The data suggest that an increase in the net migration rate of one percentage point increases on...
